The Sydney Opera House lit up on Monday night (18 October) in a special tribute to frontline workers and people who had been vaccinated as NSW passed the 80 per cent double vaccination milestone.
Premier, Dominic Perrottet said the images were projected onto the sails of the famous landmark to celebrate the efforts of the people who had kept others safe, “either through their work or by simply rolling up their sleeve and getting the jab”.
“We want to thank everyone for doing their bit to look out for each other in this pandemic because it’s this combined effort that has enabled us to hit our vaccination targets and start to get our lives back on track,” Mr Perrottet said.
Minister for Digital and Customer Service, Victor Dominello said the spectacle was a reminder of the freedoms that came with vaccination.
“Those who are fully vaccinated can now visit a hairdresser, watch their favourite sports, head out to dinner and catch live shows provided they follow health guidelines,” Mr Dominello said.
“The people of NSW have absolutely hit it out of the park when it comes to getting vaccinated and alongside our tremendous front-line workers we want to thank each and every one of them for contributing to this magnificent Team NSW moment,” he said.
Mr Dominello said the display built on the State’s Let’s Do This campaign which launched in August to encourage people to get vaccinated.
